Sanctions....Fail.

The West wants to go further on Russian oil. Inflation is making that difficult

Europe and the United States have barred the import of Russian oil to cut off a crucial revenue source for the Kremlin. But the plan to pile pain on President Vladimir Putin, forcing him to reconsider his war in Ukraine, hasn't worked.

It isn't inflation that makes it difficult rather its U.S. petroleum production not put on a war footing that makes it difficult.

Funny because Russia is pumping 8 millions barrels a day at a $30 a barrel discount to China and INDIA! That means that Saudi Arabia should have excess oil that HAD been bound for China that really could be re-directed to Europe. And the Saudi oil should be cheaper too. It's why prices have come down.

So your oil sanctions can't work if China and India buy. The other sanctions will increasingly work over time.
